Yes the carpet willl be staying for a few more years...

Do you have an idea on the budget for each chair?

They will get alot of use! We would need about 30 of them or 36 actually. They have not told me a budget I told them I would seek assistance and come up with a plan. Baby steps will have to run it by the facilities committee but we have the money for improvements. It looks dark in there!! So dated and the tables are not terrible. Would love to get ideas of budget, moderate and high end!!

I think arms are important for comfort. How about lower arms that wouldn’t cause pinch points?

I’m finding it very hard to find a good chair. This is the only option I’ve found as yet, and it may still have arms that are too high. They’re from leadersfurniture.com

You should probably look at some restaurant furnishing sites like this one https://www.restaurantfurnitureplus.com/collections/upholstered-chairs

You need contract/commercial grade chairs. You need to make sure the chairs are sturdy and stable for public use, specially if they might be used by any obese members or guests ... liability!

Any designers/decorators that are members of your club and willing to help source the furniture? If not, the club might need to hire a designer to source to-the-trade-only contract/commercial grade furniture.
